US Immigration from Vietnam

Hi all!

I searched the Vietnam forums and haven t seen this mentioned previously. I was reading this article today on VNExpress about emigration procedures with Vietnam s foreign affairs ministry for Vietnamese looking to move abroad.

Does anyone know about specific procedures that Vietnamese have to go through with the Vietnamese government like this to move abroad, for example someone moving to the US via the K-1 fianc visa?

Thanks so much for any advice or information!

Hi all.

Me and my wife are preparing for her interview in October.

Quick question about ex spouses. She we front load ex spouse information and proof of address and DOB?

And if so is there a guide on here listing what to front load??

Thanks in advance

Does anyone know if consulates can do oath ceremonies overseas? Or if the application and ceremony has be done stateside?

So my wife just got her entry stamp and we're looking to start the N-400 process. She is from Vietnam and getting a name change there to take my last name seemed like a complicated mess that we will undertake in the future.

I've read during the N-400 process my wife can have her last name changed to mine. I am however confused from reading the pinned post about having the marriage cert show a name change.our marriage cert doesn't list a name change on it and only her maiden name.

So will the ceremony need a judicial hearing?

Or does the marriage cert act as eligibility to get a name change?

I petition for the K1 and submitted an I-129f form April of 2021 and received the NOA1 later that same month. It's August 2022 and I have yet to receive any NOA2 and when I try calling USCIS the automated system hangs up on me. I submitted a service request online and USCIS sent an email to me stating that a representative will look into the case and get back to me with in 45 days with a notice of action. Has anybody submitted or inquired a service request like I did or is this just another USCIS bluff?

Anyways, I mailed my packet to TSC, but I suppose CSC is handling it now, it's very frustrating that I do not get any notice from the USCIS regarding my status and it's almost a year and a half since I petitioned. I can't even talk to a live person in the USCIS to inquire about anything. Is anybody else on the same boat? According to VJ they are already processing the K1 applicants from June 2021 already.... Are there any suggestions that I can do other than to wait?
